FARMERS AND INCOME TAX.
As to the proposed income tax,
Judge Holman, of Indiana, the
twatchdog of the treasury,” presents
the cogent argument that the
expenses of the government are now
so large it does not seem to be possible
to raise the necessary revenues by or-
dinary means and without imposing a
tax on incomes, says the Pittsburg
Post. This he supplements with the
statement that the demand for the ex-
travagant legislation of the last few
years has come largely from men of
affinence, who have large interests to
subserve and want to see the govern-
ment do things on an expensive scale.
If they have to pay some of the ex-
penses of an extravagant government
in the shape of an income tax, it is
Judge Holman’s opinion that they
may learn needed lessons of public
economy.
There is a great deal of truth in this.
Nothing enforces economy more than
a direct levy of taxes to meet the ex-
penditures. Indirect taxes sugar-coat
the medicine. Judge Holman oppos-
es an increase in the tax on tobacco
and beer, as they are the poor man’s
luxuries. As to an income tax, it is
the opinion of Judge Holman that it
should include government and other
salaries and incomes of $3,000 per an-
num and over. Asked if such a tax
would catch the farmers of Ohio and
Indiana, the Judge said he thought
not, as there are not many agricultur-
ists who have a net income of any-
thing like $4,000 a year.
In Iodiana the net income of a farm-
er is less than $600 a year, while in
Ohio it may go a shade over, but not
much. The exceptions are rare
farmers who make a net income of §1,-
000 or $2,000 a year by farming opera-
tions. Sometimes the farmer will get
rich by developement of minerals on
his land, by lucky speculations, or by
the progress of new towns, but they
do not make much money these times
by raising bread stuffs, provisions,
wool or dairy products. They are al-
ways selling in the cheapest market
and buying in the dearest one. There
is no money in that, and when the
process is carried on for years, as it has
been in the United States for aquarter
of a century, the farmer goes to the
bottom.
It is not many Pennsylvania farmers
the income tax of all in excess of $4,
000 a year will catch. It may sweep
in some of the lucky ones who have
got big prices for oil, gas and coal ter-
ritory. No class of the community
could stand a draft in the shape of an
income tax better than these lucky
ones. Bome of them are embarrassed
by their riches,

Foor-BALL is really beginning now
to prove its usefulness. A player last
week died from paralysis caused by an
injury in his neck and back while at
play.
PowpErLY has resigned as Grand
Master of the Knights of Labor, which
held their national convention in Phi-
ladelphia the previous two weeks, and
was an intensely stormy affair between
the Powderly and anti-Powderly fac-
tions. Liar, thief, robber and other
like yells, with clenched fits, and acts
of violence, characterised the proceed-
ings. The organization has split as a
result. Powderly was asked to resign
after his re-election on a close shave,
this he refused and the fight went on.
He has now resigned, and J, R. Sover-
eign, of lows, was elected in his place.
